Attention! If you happen to see someone or someones walking around the Greater Andover area carrying the guns pictured here, beware: They may not be law-abiding legal gun owners. Apparently, these weapons -- a Colt M16-A1 Rifle and an HS Precision Pro-Series 2000 Sniper Rifle -- were stolen from an FBI SWAT vehicle in Andover last night.

Attention! If you happen to see someone or someones walking around the Greater Andover area carrying the guns pictured here, beware: They may not be law-abiding legal gun owners. Apparently, these weapons -- a Colt M16-A1 Rifle and an HS Precision Pro-Series 2000 Sniper Rifle -- were stolen from an FBI SWAT vehicle in Andover last night.

The Boston Division of the FBI is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the recovery of two weapons stolen from a government vehicle. The weapons were stolen from an FBI SWAT emergency response vehicle parked in Andover, Massachusetts between the evening hours of November 6, 2013 and early morning hours of November 7, 2013. During that same time, items were stolen from other vehicles parked at nearby homes in Andover ... The FBI continues to devote significant resources to locate these weapons, determine who stole them and remove them from the possession of the unauthorized individual(s) who may have them.

Well, that's a relief. Anyway, if you see someone with hese weapons strapped to his (or her) person or persons, do not approach them, because duh. Instead, call FBI Boston immediately at 617-742-5533 or Andover Police Department at 978-475-0411.
